Does your school not have some sort of financial assistance for these types of things?

I personally can not commiserate with you about the current state of affairs. In real life, I am busy consulting with others about mechanisms to change law enforcement and criminal codes. In policy, one important mechanism for change are special interest groups who know which levers to pull for their desired results. Consulting takes up way to much of my time, and I do not have time to lament about the status quo.
Good luck to you!

Okay okay I'm not seeing them on the list. INTEGRAL addition is Trouble Funk, tracks like drop the bomb, let's get small, pump me up. Something! Anything!
Aside from that Beefeater and Marginal Man would be good additions.

Brian Baker oozes rockstar mediocrity.
On a positive note, can we get Beefeater and/or Marginal Man on this list?

I’m sure I saw them open for Blonde Redhead and forgot the name of the band, but remembered the sound and something about kitchen appliances so this tracks

Not anymore. They stopped running it shortly after the Silver Line extension opened.

I wouldn't say "always." My last time through took maybe 45 minutes total from deboarding, 10 of which was waiting for my wife to get through the non-Global Entry line. Landed around 7:30PM on a Saturday.
But yeah, I agree with the greater sentiment here.

On what basis are you claiming that the top 20 cities in the US by population had their murder rates increase by more than double from 2013-2022?

Great then you can clearly see that murders nearly double from 2013-2022 while the number of MPD officers declined by 20%~ during that same period.
So where’s the controversy here? The numbers speak for themselves.

But they will in short time… so why detain them?

If you’re going to a preliminary hearing, the case has been papered already. The US Attorney generally isn’t going to immediately drop a case at that point.

You're welcome! And dang I would've loved to see them (or Gang Gang Dance for that matter)

Why detain them when prosecutors are going to just dismiss?

No thats what happens when the digital policing revolution says they should be in a car to respond faster… per the moneyball-esque data.

What happens when the criminal is arrested?
Nothing. So why focus on this when they arrest them and nothibg happens?

Keep that anger towards the prosecutor that would not prosecute them for anything on the basis they cant prove carjaccking.
Possession of stolen property? Unauthorized use of a vehicle? Trespassing… yaaaawwwn naw

She’s not wrong- they could use some more people. And things like DNA testing, finger prints, cell site results, tower dumps, and other forensics take weeks to months to come back which doesn’t help. If we had people join up and police like the WAVE unit does in MD and VA we might also get more people but that would require accepting some potential liability.
And the council could help by passing some laws allowing for extended detentions when probable cause is found in a preliminary hearing for carjacking and gun possession. The guys doing these are often doing them in sprees and having them off the street even for an extra week or two will slow down the pace of carjackings and car thefts.

Those are the only ones I’ve seen. And that equinox is a dump for the prices they charge. It’s crazy to me that this city has such a shortage of indoor basketball courts

Check out club Flash on Florida Ave, it’s my go to for dance music. 3 floors each with multiple DJs, I also recommend downloading the Resident Advisor app (RA). It’ll tell you about various DJs performing in your area it narrows it down to which state or country you’re in!

That’s what happens when all traffic enforcement is automated. The mayor and council are all culpable in this. MPD are literally security guards now.
